35 Weeks – Either a coconut or a honeydew, although we went pumpkin picking a few weeks back, and I’m pretty sure the pumpkins we brought home were just about 5.5 lbs, so that’s what I’m imagining because I can actually hold one for comparison. All of the apps and websites I look at for information every week are basically like, “yeah there’s just a whole baby in there getting fatter, but she’s pretty much like, done.” She’s about 15% body fat right now, but should be around 30% at birth, so mostly just plumping up.

Hey guys! We finished up the baby’s room today, and I’m basically obsessed with it. Everything ended up looking pretty much exactly how I wanted it to, and I couldn’t be happier. There are a few little detail things I may still add – I wanted to make a mobile but haven’t gotten around to it yet, and stuff like that- but for the most part, it’s DONE!

Today is officially 34 weeks! This post is so late today because I had a doctor’s appointment/ check up thing. Everything is good – I had a second growth scan because of my hypoactive thyroid. They confirmed she’s still a girl (which is really great because all of the baby shower stuff has been detagged, washed and put away!) She’s measuring in the 59th percentile and weighs about 5 pounds, 11 ounces. Other than that, her heartbeat is good, everything looks like it’s measuring how it should be, and she’s basically perfect! Continue reading →

Thirty Three weeks down, only about 7 (or so) to go! This past week has been pretty great because I spent it in Philadelphia with friends & family! (Here are blog posts with some baby shower and maternity shoot pictures!) Just being around family has been such a nice experience. Continue reading →

This week, I was able to meet up with one of my sorority sisters/closest friends from college, who is also a fantastic photographer — most of the best pictures ever taken of me were taken by her. So, when she offered to take some maternity pictures of me while I was here in Philadelphia, I jumped at the opportunity because I knew she’d take some not-lame bump shots for me. Continue reading →

You know what’s not super fun? A 6 hour train ride at 32 weeks pregnant. It wasn’t like, bad, but I can’t in good conscience recommend it. I’m visiting Philly this week, hence the different location for the picture being taken. My baby shower is this weekend, and I’m so excited to see everyone, especially all of the friends and family that I don’t get to see very often. I haven’t done too much here yet, but I’m just happy to be here for a visit. Continue reading →
